Chapitre 179: The Fall of Vienna

As Conrad and Elma escaped into the Night, Gautbehrt was currently fighting a losing battle, as he defied Duke Dietger's army with every fiber of his being. However, the longer he defended his family's castle, the more of his men fell to the meat grinder.

As such corpses had begun to stack within the halls of the castle of Vienna, their blood flowing onto its cold stone floors. With every loss, Gautbehrt and his allies found themselves closer to the precipice. The young duke desperately swung at one of Dietger's knights with his longsword in his hands, however, he immediately felt a blunt object slam into the back of his helmet, which knocked him out cold.

When he finally regained consciousness, he found himself sitting in the Great Hall, gathered together and bound among his siblings. Due to the impact on his skull, he did not initially realize that Conrad was missing from the group.
